Simply put, the Engenda is an engineering oriented agenda. Aside from the standard day planner, the Engenda contains a great deal of information that every engineering student should have at their fingertips. There are sections about the university, UMES, and the many engineering students groups. There is also a very handy section called "Engineering Essentials" which contains many of the more useful/common formulas encountered in the various engineering courses.
At CFES Congress 2007 in Montreal, the University of Manitoba Engineering Society (UMES) presented a seminar about Engineering Handbooks (Dayplanners, "Engendas", etc.). Members of the UMES Council had several years of experience with producing Engendas, and used the seminar to share this knowledge and experience with other Engineering Societies (EngSocs) from across Canada. The goal of the seminar was to help other societies start a handbook or improve the handbook that their society already produces, as UMES had found the Engenda to be a very popular and valuable service.

Engendas are available in the UMES office, E2-292 EITC, and are free to engineering students.
